Straight Scoop for Vets & Friends is focused directly on the alarming number of
veterans who die from suicide and we are working to raise the awareness of this
health care issue. Along with the efforts to raise awareness, prevention efforts
being utilized will include providing brochures, posters, suicide awareness cards,
crisis line information and free online training on suicide prevention and awareness.
Our efforts are being directed at the 11 southeastern counties of New Mexico with
primary focus on the smaller villages and communities. Experience shows that these
are the most underserved areas. This is a veteran to veteran project; however we
understand that people around them are impacted.
